Artist's Statement

Balancing Act I:

Strong women in today’s world inspire me. As a woman, I hope to exhibit both strength and fragility at the same time. My jewelry creation is no exception.  A balance between feminine and masculine qualities is the heart of my design. 

Balancing Act II:

As an (ex)environmentalist stuck in a concrete jungle, I yearn to find a balance between man-made and natural environments.  This has become an inspiration in my works where geometric forms represent man-made quality while curved lines represent nature.  The shapes and forms of various elements are put together to form a balanced body of designs.

Balancing Act III:

Being a born Buddhist, I try to live my life in moderation.  There’s no extreme at either end.   Exaggeration is not what I intend to represent, nor is blandness. I was taught to be content with what I have, more importantly, who I am and be the best I can be for the society I live in.  I hope to pass my socially responsible thoughts on to my pieces.  It is the soul of my designs.
